My husband and I decided to have a little "creative" day. I had this color blocking image in my mind for about a week. My inspiration came from none other than LEGOS. yup legos. I just so happen to be playing around with some cool color ones and there was my vision. Next thing you know I had to design my vision to show my husband and then we were off to home depot to search for some thin wood. Our total bill was $10.00. Now that is my kind of art! Luckily for us we already had paint (john and I both paint in our spare..spare...spare time). I know that is hard to believe but this our 2nd paint project together. I am more abstract and john is well more....look at picture and paint it person.
Anyways.... I realized that I love paint tape. It made the best straight lines ever. The best thing about the wood was that it was smooth and the acrylic paint dried super fast on it. I would also like to pat myself on the back for mixing the right about paint for every color. If you know anything about painting, its near impossible to make the same color twice. So thank you kate for making the right amount.
I would also like to give my husband props for figuring out how to hang our master piece. This wood is thin but still has some junk in the trunk weight on it. We did not buy any mounting stuff cause we figure we could think of something and well we did. A staple gun, wire and 10lb fishing wire (we ran out of the good wire and had to improvise with fishing wire). ha ha it worked.
heres to an art project that was fun, turned out great and involved no fighting. :)
